Hi everyone!
You may have noticed that things look a little different around my blog. I've updated my blog template and graphics once again. For those of you who've been with me for sometime have seen my changes over time and thank you for accepting me for those changes. I get bored with the same ole look and decide to change things up a bit. I've learned allot about CSS (which is the coding for blogger) and eager to learn more. I am familiar with HTML so that really helps in this process. Blogger makes it very easy with their template designer but I like to customize somethings.
One of my biggest changes include the Menu bar at right under my header. This is where you will find all of my categories, past projects, information buttons and more. I will continue to add and update these menus.
After thinking long and hard about this next change I wanted to explain a little more. I've been reading more about Truncating blog posts on some of my most favorite blogs.

What the heck is Truncate?
Click here for a great tutorial.
truncateverbthe program may need to be truncated: shorten, cut, cut short, curtail, bring to an untimely end; abbreviate, condense, reduce, prune.-----------------------------------------------
Instead of retyping the reasons bloggers are truncating their blog posts -- you can read about that
here,
here and
here. A new term I've become familiar with is "scrapers". Better known as blog content stealers. So sad. Yes, they are copying our blog posts (even with our names attached) and putting them on advertising sites.
huh? for real? yes!
What can we do? We can make it a little harder for them to steal our content. I watermark almost all of my pictures and will be shortening my posts to help in the process.
I hope I've answered some of your questions about the changes I've done here.
Thank you SO much for being a follower, supporter and friends. I love you all!
